A STUDY IN PERSPECTIVE

I found a black and white picture taken in the late 1950's of my Grandparent's home; it brought back a flood of memories.  We went there every Sunday for dinner when I was a kid, and a great many other times in between.  Their humble house was full of love and wonderful places to explore.  The house was small, but the lot was large and my Granddad had a large detached garage on the opposite end from the house.  It was full, to the ceiling, of things my Granddad saved.  My dad's racing car's body was stashed away atop a pile of other wonderful finds, of which I can remember nothing.  We would dig our way to it and sit in the driver's seat and drive a 100 MPH!
As the unofficial family historian; my qualification being a major in History in college for lack of interest in any other subject, I have set about documenting dates, times, photos and memories of and for my family.
The photo also gave me a perfect subject to begin a study in drawing perspective.  It's simple lines and face on view encouraged me to begin.  The time spent drawing the front steps, the rocks, the trees and the yard were memory filled and brought me closer to my Grandparent's than I have been in a long long time.
